At the moment, I'm playing The Doors first record, simply, " The Doors." I've been playing that one a lot lately.

It's True -- Mike Brown Loves Astrologers
MIKE BROWN is one of the great astronomers of our day. I say this because he and his team have made some of the most significant discoveries in recent astronomical history -- in particular, Eris and Sedna.

Then, North America would be under one government, Europe would be under one government, an Asian alliance was forming and all of Asia would be under one government, same with Africa, and then all of these would be combined into One World Government, following a plan more than sixty years in the making!
